From the Research

The subtitle "Testing of Health Information Technology" is NOT a subtitle of the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act. The HITECH Act, which was enacted as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, includes several key subtitles focused on advancing the adoption and meaningful use of health information technology. These legitimate subtitles include "Improved Privacy Provisions and Security Provisions," "Promotion of Health Information Technology," "Grants and Loans Funding," and "Training Users of Health Information Technology" 1. While testing of health information technology may occur as part of implementation efforts, it is not specifically designated as a formal subtitle within the HITECH Act's legislative structure. The actual subtitles focus on creating infrastructure, providing financial incentives, establishing privacy and security standards, and ensuring proper training for healthcare professionals using these technologies. Some studies have examined the impact of the HITECH Act on the adoption of electronic health records, but these do not mention "Testing of Health Information Technology" as a subtitle 2, 3, 4. It's worth noting that one study from 2025 is not relevant to this question as it discusses treatment-free remission in patients with Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia 5. Therefore, based on the most recent and highest quality evidence, the subtitle "Testing of Health Information Technology" is not a part of the HITECH Act.
